Rigid Transformations Easy 8th grade Prealgebra Cannon

Front

What is a rigid transformation?

Back

A rigid transformation is a transformation that preserves the shape and size of a figure, meaning the figure does not change its dimensions.

Front

What are the three types of rigid transformations?

Back

The three types of rigid transformations are translations, rotations, and reflections.

Front

Define translation in the context of rigid transformations.

Back

Translation is a rigid transformation that slides a figure in a straight line from one position to another without changing its shape or size.

Front

What is a reflection in rigid transformations?

Back

A reflection is a rigid transformation that flips a figure over a line, creating a mirror image.

Front

Explain rotation in rigid transformations.

Back

Rotation is a rigid transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

Front

True or False: A reflection is a type of rigid transformation.

Back

True

Front

What does it mean for a transformation to be rigid?

Back

A transformation is rigid if it does not alter the size or shape of the figure being transformed.

Front

Give an example of a translation.

Back

Moving a triangle 5 units to the right and 3 units up is an example of a translation.
